Reading Source file in SSIS via network Share

  • We created an SSIS package (in BIDS) that reads a source file on a different server. When run interactively, the package can access the file through a network share but we want to run it non-interactively. In that case, we can't use "Windows authentication" (there is no interactive user) and we certainly can't use sql authentication. How can SSIS be used to read that remote file?

    TIA,

  • I think it depends how you are running the ssis package. If you are running it via a proc or job then I believe it will run under the sql service account. That account in our environment is a domain account so it would work here.

  • You have to make network share accessible for user that runs SSIS package. If it's not domain account I believe workaround would be to set permissions for everyone.
